What's up guys? Welcome back to the podcast. Thank you so much for being here. We have another bonus episode for you for the month of June. I'm excited to dive in, give you a little recap. But there's something that I wanna talk about first because we've been doing a 21-day content challenge inside of my alumni circle with some of my business students and with my private clients. There's a lot of them that are launching programs and actively selling things right now. And so there's been a lot of conversations lately that have brought forth the importance of being able to remember your own magic. And so I thought I would bring this reminder to the podcast community as well, because it's such a good one and it's such an important one. I think it's really easy to get caught up in the numbers, whether it's social media or your job or whatever you do for a living, getting into comparisonitis, comparing your content and your life to everyone else online, their branding, and oh my God, look at their photos of this and their morning routine and their business or whatever the fuck it is, right? And getting into these spaces where we lose touch with what we bring to the table and what makes us special and the magic that we all have inside of us, right? It's easy to get caught up in those vanity metrics of externally, what does everyone else's life look like? Or, you know, my following is not growing, or I wish that I was making more money by now, or whatever the case is for you personally, right? Or that maybe you wish you were further along in your relationship, or you really want to be married, or whatever. It's so easy to get caught up in that and forget that there's so much magic within you. I think another huge thing that's been coming up a lot with clients recently is falling into these codependent patterns with your business. You know, for anyone listening who is a business owner or a content creator, influencer, whatever it is, if you use the online space as a place to do business, it's really easy to get caught up in these codependent patterns where you're like needing your clients to be happy and thriving all the time in order to feel like you are doing a good job as the coach. Even though we know like everyone's life has ebbs and flows and everyone's business has ups and downs and you could have the best support system and still be moving through challenging things sometimes and feeling, you know, maybe like if you have group programs or things like that, this is another common one of like needing the group chat to be popping off in order to feel validated or like you're doing enough as the coach, as the guide, as the leader, right? Or needing your story views to go up because they've been down recently, or needing to get those like affirming comments when you post a reel or whatever to feel like your work is valuable. And so it's easy. It's easy to compare. It's easy to get caught in codependent patterns. It's easy to look at what everyone else is doing. It's easy to focus on the numbers. What's hard a lot of the time is to remember that all of that is just noise. All of that is just ego. And there is something deeply rooted inside of you that is special, that is talented, all of the magic that you have within you, right? And I think something that's important to remember is that even the most confident people that you look up to online or in life or in business or whatever, they also have wobbles. They also have moments of extreme self-doubt, right? Some of the biggest actors in Hollywood and, you know, people on television or people like the Kardashians, like, they're affected by the criticism as well. They want to retract back into their shells. These coaches that you see online that are doing so well and everything looks so amazing and their programs are big and they're making lots of money, even those people come up against moments of self-doubt. Right. I have clients with extremely successful businesses. They have raving clients. They're getting featured in media. They have true freedom lifestyles where they're traveling and living in the way that they had always dreamed. They have— some of them have large followings. They have huge income months, all of the things, right? And still there's times where they show up in Voxer and they're like, dude, what the fuck? Like, my head is telling me crazy stories. I don't know what's going on, but I'm really in it right now. And me too, right? Me too. Like, I have sent voice notes to my coach before, like, hey, I'm scared. I don't know how this is going to turn out. I don't know if I can do this, right? I know where it's coming from. I know probably how to fix it. I know, like, I have so much awareness, but still, this is just how I'm feeling. These are the thoughts that I'm having. And I just thought that I would let you know because processing out loud is so helpful. And I think we really have to break this stigma or this idea that the people that you look up to, or that there's anyone in the world really that doesn't face moments of, of self-doubt or self-criticism or confusion or frustration or whatever, right? And understanding that everybody has their shit. And yes, of course there's people that have cultivated deep levels of self-love and self-trust and they have more confidence than a lot of people and things are going really well for them and whatever. And probably majority of the time, they're in a good space and a good energy. But still, at the end of the day, we are all human. And that's one piece of the puzzle of helping you remember your own magic is removing the idea that everybody else has something figured out that you don't, or that everybody is further along, or that they know better, or that they just don't have challenges, or they don't experience those kinds of thoughts ever again anymore for whatever reason. Right? So I wanted to share with you, uh, the same thing that I shared with my clients last week. And that is that you are the magic, right? What does this mean, though? What it means is that if you think about it, all of the beauty in your life right now is a reflection of your own energy. And so all of the people that you love, the friendships that you've attracted, the opportunities, the experiences, they were all created and attracted to you as a result of your unique essence and your energetic frequency. Right? And so you are at the core, you are at the center of all of the beauty that you experience in your life. You remembering your power. We say that a lot, right? Step into your power. Remember your power. Take back your power. Remembering your power is less about needing to feel powerful per se. Right? I think sometimes that phrase gets like lost in the sauce because it's like, like, yeah, okay, but what does that mean, right? And so I think remembering your power or remembering your essence or remembering that you are the magic, whatever you want to call it, it's less about needing to feel super powerful or strong, and it's really more about recognizing the incredible influence that you have over your own life and circumstances, the magnitude of the influence that you have, remembering that you are the co-creator, the chief executive, the creative director of your life. Okay. So I have something I think you're really going to love and your business is going to love it even more.

You have the power every day to simply change your mind about something, to change your energetic state, right? To choose again, to set a loving boundary, to say no, to say, fuck it, yes, let's do that. To show up anyway, even when it's hard to say what you mean, to share your gifts, to move your body, to increase your frequency, to make someone in the world smile, to bring joy into your life and your relationships every day. You have that power. And a lot of us just aren't using it at our highest capacity because we're getting stuck in the mundane. We're getting stuck in the numbers and the vanity metrics and the social media and what are they doing and how does my life stack up and the comparison and all of that, right? It's easy to get caught up in that. It's natural even. But what we have to challenge ourselves to do is tap into our power, to remember our magic, to remember that we have the capacity to change our circumstances. We have the capacity to change how we're thinking, how we're feeling, and how we are experiencing our lives. And so there is something that you could do right now today that would bring you back to center and remind you of your magic. For sure. For everyone listening to this, there's something that you could do right now today that would help bring you back, center you, ground you, remind you of that feeling of like, oh yes, I'm in control. I have the power. I am the magic. I am at the center of my life's experience. And so maybe it's a certain playlist, right? Music is so huge in being able to influence your state and how you're experiencing your life. Maybe it's a workout. Maybe it's a conversation with your coach or your therapist or a close friend. Maybe it's a certain video or a certain practice on YouTube that you love to do. Maybe it's a certain EFT tapping. Maybe it's a podcast episode that really fires you up that you like to have on repeat. Maybe it's a meditation track that you love. Maybe it's a walk outside alone without your phone. Maybe it's a trip to the beach, a prayer, whatever it is. There is something that you could do today that would bring you right back into the remembrance of your magic. And so that's what I want to challenge you with. I want you to think about what that thing is. You already know the answer. Your intuition has already given it to you as you listen to me say this. And so just trusting that answer and having the courage and the willingness to create the space to actually go do it. So that you can drop back into that place where it doesn't feel so heavy. It doesn't feel so overwhelming. It's— you're not so worried about, oh, what is everybody else doing and blah, blah, blah. It's no, this is me. This is my life. These are the things that I have control over. And fuck yeah, I'm going to take control over it. Right? This is what I'm going to do. This is how I choose to think. This is how I choose to feel. These are the things I need to cut out of my life or add into my life to change my state, to increase my frequency, to get back on that horse of co-creating the life that you truly desire. You have that power right now, today, every day, always. It's just about are you using it? And so I want you to think about that one thing that you could do that you know would help knock you right back into your power and bring you back to center. And just remember, you are the magic. Okay, so let's get into our little recap of the month of June. So we've been doing video for the podcast for over a month now. And I got to say, I really love the short-form content that we're creating with the videos. If you guys don't already, make sure that you follow Makeshift Happen Podcast because there are so many good clips of all the different episodes of the podcast in video format. So you can see me recording the podcast live in my office and it's just fun. I think someday we will put the full-length episodes out on YouTube. We haven't gotten to that point yet. But what I will say about video is that I do kind of miss just being able to show up like in my pajamas and not feel like I'm super prepared and whatever. Like doing the video has definitely required me to step into much more organization when it comes to the podcast and a lot more forethought and like planning ahead because the video team needs the files well in advance so that they can cut it, edit it, you know, make the trailers and all the things that they're doing. And so for these bonus bonus, like recap episodes, I'm like, well, I, I can't get all the way to the end of the month and then recap the full month for you because my video team needs the content ahead of time. So it's not quite the end of June yet, but we're making it work. Like, whatever, I guess next month's recap will include the last week of June in it. But I really do love just being able to tell you guys all the things that are going on and what we've been doing in personal life, business, all the things each month. So I hope you're enjoying these episodes. If you are, let me know because it, like, I want to know should we keep doing them? Should we switch it up? Should we add a different segment to the podcast? So let me know if you love the recap episodes, and we will definitely keep doing them. But let's dive into what we got up to in June. So for the first 10 days of June, I was at home at my parents' house in North Carolina. And so we had like a big sort of like family get-together. My brother was there, my sister-in-law, my nephew who's 3 and is just like so much fun to hang out with right now because he a total personality and he's hilarious and we had so many laughs and it was just a really, really fun time. Um, so I was there in North Carolina. Jaime and I drove up, it was like an 11-hour drive. We just decided to drive because it's so much easier, especially when we're going with the dog and we could just bring the dog in the car and we were going to be there for a while. We stayed for like 2 weeks, so it was worth it. It was fine. We we, we have fun on the road trips. Jaime has this thing where time passes for him on road trips so much faster if he calls people and is talking to people. So he'll literally call everyone that he's pretty much ever known in his life. Like, he did a catch-up with all of his friends and family members on the drive. He's like, see, isn't this fun? Like, time is passing so quickly. Like, he'll call someone and talk to them for an hour, and then he'll be like, okay, let's call this other friend and talk to them for an hour. And then he'll call his and talk to them for 30 minutes. And then, I mean, so that's basically how we spent our time on the road trip. But we got to North Carolina. My parents live a little bit outside of Asheville in the mountains. They live out in the country. They have lots of land. They have chickens. They have this beautiful backyard oasis with like a pool and a waterfall. And it's a really great place to go when you just wanna like disconnect from the world and reality and just relax and have family time. Play games, have good conversations, like watch movies together, hang out by the pool. So that's really what it was. It was just like a chill, like detached from reality sort of trip. We did like a one adult sort of fun day where my parents watched the baby. And so my brother and sister-in-law and me and Jaime, we got to go out, um, to Asheville for the day. And we were drinking Prosecco and eating truffle fries on a terrace in the sunshine. And we went crystal shopping and I got some new Prada sunglasses that I'm obsessed with. And you guys will be really proud of me. I swindled a discount. There were these— these sunglasses were not on sale. However, the store was having a sale and it was like buy one, get one 50% off. And so I was like, oh, that's, that's amazing. Look, let's just look around. And it was Jaime's birthday also while we were there. And so I'm like, I'll, I'll get you a pair of new sunglasses for your birthday and then we can do, you know, I'll get one and you get one. Who else does this with their partner? You're like, yeah, let's go to the store and we'll both get something. Really, you want to get something, but you're like, yeah, if you get something too, especially if it's a buy one, get one 50% off sale, works out perfectly. But Jaime is like the pickiest person when it comes to clothes, sunglasses, like really anything. He's a very, he's a very picky shopper. Whereas I'm the type of person that you bring me into a store. This is, this is the issue that I have whenever someone says, do you want to go shopping? Like if you invite me shopping, I will be buying things. Things. Like, we're going shopping, I'm not— there's no chance I'm walking out of a store without something, right? So this has been the story of my life. I go shopping with my friends. This used to happen in Madrid too. My friends would be like, let's go to Gran Vía and walk around and do some shopping. And I'm like, yes, so much fun, girls' day, let's go shopping. I walk out with like 5 bags and a bunch of stuff, and my friends like didn't buy anything. And I'm like, you guys, this is not fun. This is like if someone were to say, hey, let's go grab a drink. And then you get to the bar and they're like, oh, I'm not drinking. And you're like, what? Or when someone's like, let's go get ice cream together. Imagine you go to get ice cream together and then you're the only one eating the ice cream and they're just watching you. Like, it's just not fun, you know what I mean? So here's a random, a random caveat, but like, if you're going to invite someone to go shopping, you better also be shopping. You better, you better buy something. That's all I have to say because I'm the friend that's going to be buying stuff and then you're going to make me feel weird and bad. And so it's just not about— so anyway, Jaime is like the pickiest person when it comes to things. So of course he was like, I don't like any of them in here. I'm like, it's literally every sunglass under, under every pair of sunglasses, like under the sun from every brand possible, but whatever. So he leaves, he goes to another store and I'm stuck with the Prada sunglasses. Like, okay, but I thought we were going to get like a cool deal because we were going to do like, you know, the buy one, get one thing. And now I'm just stuck here really wanting these sunglasses all by my lonesome. I was with my sister-in-law. And so we were talking to the sales rep and of course, you know, they were like chatting me up and they were like, they look so good on you. Like they fit your face shape perfectly. You know, the schmoozing to, you know, get the commission. I get it. I get it. But, you know, I was like, you know what? I want to give you a commission today and I want to bring these sunglasses home. So I'm really bummed though that the only sale that you have is buy one, get one 50% off. There's nothing else you could offer. And so the girl was like, well, we might be able to do 10%. Let me go check. And then she came back and she was like, we can definitely do 10%, um, might be able to do 20%. I was confused at what her logic was in selling it to me that way. So of course I'm like, I'm like, yeah, 20%. Like, if you can do 20%, I will buy them. Deal, deal done, done deal. So she comes back and she's like, okay, we can do 20%. And so I literally just got myself a 20% discount out of nowhere for no reason at all other than I, I inquired and it worked out. So I think if we take a bigger lesson, if we wanna get philosophical as we do on this podcast, a bigger lesson from that is like, shoot your shot. If you don't ask for the things that you're curious about, or if you don't ask for the things that you want in life, you're probably not going to get them. And you might not even know that they were available or that they were possible because you didn't ask. Right. And I had a client recently also who's in Abundant and Ambitious that reminds me of this story where she booked a, a really awesome guest for her podcast. And she was telling me how this guest was really inspiring to her and she's someone that she's followed for a while and she has a pretty big platform and she loves her show and she's really excited to host her on her podcast. But she was curious about, you know, how would I go about potentially navigating doing a swap with this person? Like, I'd love to also be on their show and collaborate with them in that way. And so I told her, like, when you do the episode, you've gotta shoot your shot. When you're in person, when you're on camera, when you're talking face to face, if it goes really well and there's a great energy and a good vibe, and you guys had a really good conversation for your show, just pitch yourself. Let her know, like, I'm open to this, like, I'd love to do it, let me know. Be casual, but just put it out there into the universe. Don't be afraid, shoot your shot. And so she came back and she was like, oh my God, she said yes, we're booking it, it's happening. And then she got featured on this really big podcast, and then the episode went out and she was getting all kinds of new traffic to her Instagram and she was getting lots of new followers. And then her own podcast shot up in the rankings in the UK and was like number 10 in the UK for, um, uh, in the category of self-improvement. And all of that is just another testament to exactly what I'm talking about here with the sunglasses, which is just ask for the things that you want in life. Shoot your shot because you never know. And most of the time, the worst case scenario, the worst thing that could happen is that you end up exactly where you already are, which is like, oh no, I'm so sorry, we can't do that. Or nope, that's not available right now, or whatever the case is. And you're just like, okay, well, I continue in my exact same current reality, right? So there's a little, a little lesson in there for you from the, from the sunnies. Um, so yeah, shoot your shot. It's important. So we, I mentioned that it was Jaime's birthday, so we celebrated. It was his 30th birthday. A big birthday. So we celebrated his birthday all together as a family. Um, we went out to a Mexican restaurant because Jaime and I lived— I don't— you guys probably remember, unless you're super new to the podcast, but you probably remember that in 2022 Jaime and I lived in North Carolina with my parents for 7 months while we were shopping for homes. And so we lived in this area, so we're super familiar. Um, and so we went to a Mexican restaurant that we had been to a bunch of times when we lived there, and some of his friends that he made at the gym and things like like they worked there. And so it was kind of like a fun sort of vibe of like a throwback of just going back to this place. There's people that we knew and a place that we were familiar with. And so we— I secretly told them, I was like, you guys don't know, but it's Jaime's 30th birthday, so you have to do something. And so they made him wear a really embarrassing sombrero and they sung happy birthday to him in front of the whole restaurant. And then they pied him in the face with whipped cream. They pied him in the face with whipped cream, which none of us were expecting. I, I just wanted them to like like sing a song or bring a dessert or do something, uh, but they, they were like, yeah, we have to embarrass him. So they pied him in the face with whipped cream. Hey, don't forget that every month we are picking a Listener of the Month to win $50 in cash just for showing love to the show.

So we celebrated Jaime's 30th birthday, and then, uh, literally the next day my dad had his hip replacement surgery. Um, but before that, we had a couple of fun, like, boat days. We also went out on the lake on the boat. Jaime and I tried paddleboarding, which I've done it one time before, and I don't know if I'm just, like, naturally really balanced because of gymnastics and dance and yoga and things like that. But I'm way better at paddleboarding than Jaime. Or maybe it's because like men are a lot bigger or like heavier, and so any movement that they make on the board makes them fall off easier. But I was killing it on the paddleboard, I gotta say. I did a crow pose, if you, if you practice yoga. I was like doing inversions and things on the paddleboard on the water, and I'm not experienced at So I got a little, got a little into my competitive self and we decided to do a race and we raced from the boat to the shore of the lake. And who won? I'll let you guess. It was me. So we had, we had some good, some good fun out on the lake. And then my dad had his hip replacement surgery. So that was kind of the whole reason why initially we had gone back to North Carolina. I knew that I was going to want to be there. When he got the surgery because it's a pretty major operation, and I knew that he would probably need some sort of help in the recovery, although I was totally not prepared for what that was really going to look like. Um, for the most part, I just knew that I wanted to be there because I knew he was scared about the operation, and I knew that my mom would probably be nervous, and it's just not a good feeling to have to sit in the hospital waiting room by yourself. Yourself, you know, waiting for someone that you love who's under anesthesia, who's being opened up and having a major surgery like that. So I really wanted to go for the emotional support, but I'm so glad that we went because none of us really anticipated, I don't think, how intense the sort of like, you know, physical caretaking was going to have to be afterwards. Like, I had no idea that you have to wear these like cooling machines and you have to strap these things onto your legs that pump your blood so that you don't get a blood clot. And there's all these tubes and cords and wearing a TENS machine to help with the pain. And, you know, all different kinds of medications or things that have to come at different hours throughout the day. And, you know, timing everything. And, you know, I guess when you get your hip replaced, like, you can stand up and walk, which is what we were told. It's like, oh my God, it's so amazing, you can walk the next day. Which, walk— I think people really used that term, uh, loosely, because yes, you can stand and walk, but you still need so much, like, supervision and help, and you can't lift your leg up, and you probably can't lay down or sit up without help. And so there was a lot of, there was a lot of caretaking involved, but I was really, really happy to be there, especially because my parents have a brand new puppy. And so that was fun, getting to know the new puppy. But also, puppies wake up in the middle of the night and need to go to the bathroom, and so my mom wasn't getting great sleep. And then she was also trying to take care of my dad, and, you know, puppies pee and poop everywhere, and they have to be supervised all the time. But we also had to be supervised supervising my dad. We had like a walkie-talkie system going on where my dad would have a walkie-talkie and then we would have a walkie-talkie. So if he needed to go to the bathroom or if he needed a drink or if he needed help or if one of his machines wasn't working, he could like basically just call us through the walkie-talkie. So it was a whole— it was definitely like a bonding experience. And it was— I'm so grateful that I got to be there, uh, with my dad and, and for my parents. I wish we could have stayed longer, but But we were there for like the first week of his recovery and he's doing so well now. He's walking amazingly. He's, you know, unassisted without his walker most of the time now and he's in physical therapy and it's all good. But I was really reminded like in that moment of being there for the surgery. Well, first I have to tell you, you guys, I literally almost passed out. We went back into like the, the room where they get you like prepared for surgery and stuff. And we were allowed to hang out back there with him until they, you know, wheeled him away into the operating room. And I literally almost passed out because I'm really squeamish and I, I get really like lightheaded and I might pass out potentially when I get my own blood drawn or if there's like needles and things. But I figured like, since it's not me, like it'll be fine. Like it's not my body, it's not happening to me. So it's fine. So I was standing next to my dad and I was like holding his hand and, you know, talking to him. And trying to distract him while they were setting up his IV and all of that stuff. That's not very fun. And I made the mistake of looking at it. And this, this woman, bless her soul, the nurse, but she was like, kept missing it and putting it in and out and in and out. And I have no idea, like mentally I was fine, but it's so crazy how your body can just have a physical reaction. Like I wasn't even thinking, oh, that's gross, or it's grossing me out. Not at all. But all of a sudden I got so hot. My whole body like just started convulsing in this like heat wave. I felt super nauseous. My vision was going blurry and I'm like, oh my God, I'm literally stealing the attention. Like I'm not even the person that's about to get surgery and I'm over here like fanning myself and I had to like rip my jacket off and lift my tank top up into a crop top and like And like the nurses are like, are you okay? Like they brought me a fan. So yeah, but I, it gave everyone something to focus on and think about and take my dad's mind off of the surgery because he was just worried about me. He was like, are you going to be okay? Um, but then I felt better and it was fine. It passed. It passed. Okay. So I was in there trying to be a hero and turns out I was not equipped. I'm not the person for that. But anyway, Anyway, this moment when he came out of surgery was like such an important reminder for me of why I do the work that I do and why it's so important to consistently remind you guys, my communities, my clients about the value that is building a sort of, you know, freedom lifestyle for yourself. And that it's not always just about money or recognition or any of those other things, but it's really about like moments like This, this. right? And so when my dad came out of surgery, he was so not feeling well. He was like very sick from the anesthesia. He was just not doing well. His, his breathing was kind of going in and out. And so we were there with him trying to comfort him, and I was just standing next to the bed and I was squeezing his hand because he had said that his hands were asleep. And so I was trying to wake them up a little bit. And so we were holding hands and and his eyes are closed and he just whispered to me in his like drugged, stupid state. He was like, "Thank you for coming home." And my heart just like melted in that moment because it was just so clear. Like, you know, there's only so many things that really, really matter in life. And although I love an epic launch strategy and, you know, a massive income goal or, you know, all the business things that help us create freedom. You know, freedom doesn't only come from that. It comes from moments like this, being exactly where you need to be, no questions asked, because you have the ability to, right? If I had a traditional career or job of some kind, I might not be able to just take 2 weeks off of my life to go home and be with my family and help support them in that way, right? And so building a freedom-based business can look like luxury cars and handbags bags or fancy international travel, but it can also look like these quiet, tender moments with the people that you love that may not have otherwise been possible. So that was a beautiful reminder for me, and it brought things full circle because that was the same week that the episode came out on the podcast about building a top-tier life, which was all about the importance of relationships and experiences and how to build your top-tier life through that lens of really understanding what's important to you. And so it all just was like divine timing. And like, I guess we as a community probably needed that reminder. I needed that reminder. And so many of you reached out to me saying, oh my God, like, I needed that, or I cried at that episode, or that really struck a chord for me, or I sent this to 5 people that are super important to me in my life. Like, there was really, really incredible feedback. Back from that episode. And so I think it's something that was, you know, relevant for the collective, not just something that was coming through for me as an individual. So yeah, um, what else in the month of June? Well, we hosted the sold-out Six Figure Launch Masterclass, uh, towards the end of the month, which was so much fun. If you guys came to the masterclass, thank you for joining us. Um, if you signed up, hopefully you had time to watch watch the replay before it disappears. And then we also open the doors to Top Tier, which is my brand new mastermind that I've been telling you guys about and hinting about. And it's been in this sort of like phase of inception for the past 9 months because I got the idea for this mastermind all the way back last September when I was walking on my treadmill in my condo. And it just like, it hit me so hard, but things just weren't aligned at that exact moment to bring it to life. And so it's been a long, long time coming and it's finally here. I'm so excited about it. The branding feels so elevated and so fun and just like a whole new energy. And so it's a mastermind that's really intimate and exclusive. It's for established coaches and service providers. If you guys are interested, we will of course leave a link in the show notes for you to check out everything about the mastermind so that you can apply. Um, doors close at the end of this month, so they close on 30th. So make sure that if you are interested at all that you get your application in before the 30th so that we have time to review it and make sure that you're approved for the program and get you in. It's application only because again, it's going to be a much smaller intimate group and the vibe is going to be really, really curated and we want to make sure that everyone is a super aligned fit for the mastermind. So that's why it's application only. So if you are interested, make sure that you apply as early as possible so that so that there's time to get you approved and get you in before the doors close at the end of the month. Next weekend is like the last weekend in June, I believe, and Jaime and I are thinking about maybe doing a spontaneous little weekend trip to Orlando so that we can go to Harry Potter World. In the pandemic, many of us probably did this, but we did like a marathon of all the Harry Potter movies, and Jaime loved Harry Potter growing up. My mom used to read us those books when we were for kids, uh, as like bedtime stories. So we both kind of love Harry Potter, so we're like, why not? We live so close now, we can easily just go up to Orlando. And so we're thinking about doing a random spontaneous trip. And yeah, I'll keep you guys updated. Follow along on Instagram, we'll probably share if we go. It's just kind of pending weather and things like that, hoping that it's going to be nice out. But yeah, I think that's the recap for the month of June for you guys. If you have any questions about TopTier, you can always just send me a DM on Instagram You can send me the words top tier or just shoot me a voice note, ask me whatever it is that you're curious about. I'm so open to help you navigate. Is this even a right fit for you? Does it make sense at this stage and at this time of your business? Again, it's a really curated group, so I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not gonna try to get people in there that aren't actually a right fit for it. So it's not in my interest to do that. It's not in the group's interest to do that, and it's not in your interest to put you in something that maybe just isn't exactly what you need or isn't gonna be of the best support for your business at this stage. So the best thing that you can do if you are interested is apply so that we can figure it out. And of course, DM me any questions that you might have. Thank you guys so much for listening to the podcast. As always, I love ya, and I will talk to you next week. Bye.
